Chennai and Thiruvananthapuram have been floated as potential alternate venues for Bangladesh to play their matches in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026, which is being hosted by India, according to Cricbuzz.
Bangladesh last week announced that it would not play its T20 World Cup matches in India after Mustafizur Rahman was released by his Indian Premier League (IPL) team amid growing tensions between the two countries. Subsequently, Bangladesh “formally requested” the International Cricket Council (ICC) shift its games to Sri Lanka.
